Bed sharing 'bad for your health'

We have separate beds. Have done for about 5 years now. We both sleep much better for it.

I particularly liked this bit of the report

Before the Victorian era it was not uncommon for married couples to sleep apart. In ancient Rome, the marital bed was a place for sexual congress but not for sleeping.

So what's your preference?

Separate rooms without a doubt.

Apology accepted.

I like sleeping alone, no being pushed to the edge, no losing the duvet in the night, no snoring and it's cooler, what  with less body heat being generated, and more room.

I doubt that even my silver tongue would persuade her to have separate rooms. It took me years to get twin beds.

Funny that Mrs DS#3 should snore. Mrs S#2 does too whilst, like you, I do not  angel1

I'm of the same opinion as UM on this. A large double is bliss for one person  cloud9:  You can roll over to the cool side when necessary  ;)
